The EU legislation is ridiculous. Not only are they trying to allow side loading apps they are basically permitting insecure methods of invocation and media.
If the EU legislation would also enforce better security standards that Samsung and all androids lack then it may be better but this is just stupidity at its best.
Fucking finally. It’s ridiculous they had to be forced to finally support it.
iMessage will still be blue, but if it falls back to sms it will be RCS. Doesn’t change anything lolz.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they nerf it a bit. Maybe do a stripped down version so the blue bubble is still better. I bet they won’t want to get the EU all pissed off again and have to open iMessage so this is away to say it’s just like iMessage and not have to open it up.
The blue bubble will always be better though. iMessage includes games, business chat, apps, safety check in, etc. RCS doesn’t support any of that.

I don’t care about green bubbles or really any of the iMessage junk, I will just be happy to send a video or image to an iPhone user without it getting downsampled into trash.
Hopefully that’s the case.
I get around it now by sharing a Google photos link to the image or video…
Pretty sure Android messages also down samples anything you send. Maybe not pictures but videos for sure. I always share videos with the Google link. It’s a lot faster that way anyway. It’s the superior method for videos.
Believe it when I see it.
PC CLIENT NFOR IMESSAGE NEXT PLEASE
Per other reports, and briefly mentioned at the bottom of the OP article, aside from regulations Apple isn’t adopting Googles extensions. They got the standards body to accept them pushing for independent standards especially for end to end encryption. With mass carrier adoption and the ability to not adopt Google is makes sense given pending legislation. They don’t lose much and have more to gain. They also retain their proprietary features and can keep the green bubble if they want.
Wow I’m so glad apple finally invented RCS
Have they invented multitasking on phones and back swipe gesture yet?
I cannot emphasize how much I don’t care. Blue bubbles, green bubbles, who’s gives a flying fuck? A text is a text.
Any of my fellow Nuclear workers see this and think “Reactor Coolant System support?!”
Can someone explain to me why iMessage and even android still cannot use italics, bold or underline in text message? Is there a god damn reason? Ive been waiting for like 13 years to see this implemented lol
Wait do I get to play imessage pool again? This is the only thing I care about now.
let’s hope they’ll force google to only allow it encrypted
